Ok, here is draft order again fellas. As soon as we are ready to go on Penn's site, I'll let you know.

For those who haven't used the site, it has an automated proxy & pick function where you can rank players by group (e.g. tell the AI you want 1 of 5 2B you list as your next pick in a round) OR by pure value/talent (i.e. list 5 players of various positions and the AI will pick the 1st two left on your board consecutively as your next 2 picks).

1. hawk
2. MrBBW
3. Pinhead1987
4. Qksilver
5. Cubit
6. SGT D
7. Possible John
8. Smitty
9. Penngray
10. geekor
11. Woody5
12. Ineluki

Qk,

Some questions (apologies if some of these are already addessed elsewhere):

1. DH or no DH?
2. $100M cap?
3. You mention only 3 drop/adds are allowed. Is that just in order to get the team legal going in? In other words, once we've registered a legal team, are we allowed to drop/add and trade at will from there? Or is the 3 drop/add rule applicable to the entire season?
4. Unique stadiums?
5. How will divisions be determined?
6. Twenty five rounds?

Ugh - 12th pick... Does anyone want to trade down by chance? If so, please let me know. Thanks...

I love the late picks in a serpentine draft. I'm happy with my spot!

Penn please let me know what username you put down for me as I believe I have been put in under nythawk,hawkeye and hawk

of course now I have to decide between a certain ss/3B or 2B with that first pick :? :D

answering PJ's questions above:

1) yes DH
2) yes $100M cap
3) yes unique stadiums - as part of draft
4) 26 rounds in draft - stadium to be taken anytime
5) up to 3 player drops can be made in order to get under cap once TSN salaries are announced/available on website - after waivers run, normal add/drops apply
6) players to be dropped must be announced here at least 2 days prior to waivers running - any players dropped are fair game for other owners to draft
7) in order to give a little help to the players at the bottom of the serpentine draft (yes I have some sympathy there), droppers must announce drops in order of draft, so Hawk has to make his drops 1st, Mr BBW next, Pinhead next, then me, etc - this will give a slight advantage to each owner who is next on the rung, but remember, the adds will be via waivers, so random chance will still come in to who you can pick up....

That all make sense? Let me know if further questions or if anyone takes big issue with last little tweak... :wink:

Thanks, QK. :D And can someone send me penn's email address?

Well, we are gonna be held up when we get to Cubit's pick anyway. I reserved a spot for him as he told me earlier he was desperate to get in a Pre-Card draft, but no word in last few days. He travels a lot though so imagine he will check in soon....I will see if I have Penn's email around here but don't think so, it's on my home computer....

just a heads up I will be out the rest of the afternoon and evening so wont be making my first pick until tomorrow morning sometime unless Qk wants me to leave my pick here on this forum
